   These are all my favorites, they're all super good. The first one is the most satisfying read I've ever read. The third one, with its group portrait of the nation's fate, is super good and incredibly exciting. My biggest regret is the part where the group leader dies in the later part of the middle section. The sixth one is the best coming-of-age story I've ever read, although some parts are a bit heartbreaking, especially the death of the female lead's younger brother, which I found very sad. The last one is my first love, the first cultivation novel I ever liked.

    Don't let its low rating fool you; I think it's definitely one of the top female-centric dramas. It mainly follows the female protagonist's journey of leveling up, defeating villains, becoming an immortal and a god, and establishing her own sect. She has some romantic involvement with the main antagonist, but it's not extensive. Both the male and female leads are clear-headed individuals. The male lead initially rises from the top to the dark side, a strong start followed by a decline, while the female lead, misunderstood as a potential cultivation vessel, possesses an exceptionally high-quality spiritual root and strong learning and comprehension abilities—a truly remarkable low start followed by a strong finish!

    The first book features a painting themed around autumn. Little Pear depicts herself, her father, a cat, and many flowers in the secondary painting. When accused of going off-topic, she replies that she is blooming. Why? "Because with my father, I feel joy in my heart, and I feel all things blossoming." [Kiss] The second book begins with an ordinary person seeking justice, but it actually reveals the conflict between mortals and immortals. This serves as a starting point for a vast story. The distinction between good and evil is particularly striking: the immortals seem good, yet they enjoy the pleasures of the mortal world without doing anything; the demons sound terrifying, but they bring hope to the broken world, the hope they themselves sought but could not obtain. The third book is about how I will do everything in my power to save my country and my world. The fourth book is about the heroine and her mama's boy son becoming a beacon in the apocalypse. The fifth book is about the apocalypse, where humanity has become the lowest rung of the food chain. Are you really ready? [Thinking] The sixth book is about farming! This is a story about a group of friends who separate and then reunite. The seventh book, which I would call the heroine's growth story, depicts her in her past life clinging desperately to the second male lead, a tragic end. In this life, she realizes that she can only rely on herself, that becoming stronger is paramount, and that good people will stand in her way. The eighth book is a story of missed opportunities and being missed. The ninth book, "Wild Boar King," takes you through the humor of creating something extraordinary. The tenth book features the gossip-loving masses [smirking].

The villain pinned her against the wall: "Mr. Yu, a teacher-student relationship... We can give it a try."

    The female lead is very hardworking and strong. She doesn't have a romantic relationship in the story. The author's portrayal of emotions is also delicate. However, the first few stories have some minor flaws. If you ignore the original owner's experiences and only focus on the female lead's personal development, it's quite enjoyable.

    The best cultivation novel ever. Without a doubt. The writing is incredibly funny; you'll often burst out laughing. The only downside is that the female lead dies too many times, which is genuinely heartbreaking at times. I stayed up all night for a whole week to finish it. Highly recommended, 9.9 Out of 10.
